Stories That Define Us
These books were born out of the desire to make our participants’ stories available to you, our readers, and offer insight into their lives. I believe you will find that we are all much more alike than we realize in what we want for ourselves and the hopes we have for our children and our community. I know that I have learned far more from our participants than they could ever learn from me. They are heroes of mine not because of what they have accomplished, which is very impressive, but because of what they have overcome and because of their resilience and persistence in the face of challenges that seemed insurmountable. They are remarkable not only because they have faced difficulties and had the hope and grit to work through them, but also because they are willing to share their stories in the hope that their experiences will inform and inspire others. To a person, I am proud of them for offering their stories to you.
Please note that the first two editions are available upon request. Kindly reach out to us at info@familyscholarhouse.org

Hear from some of our families:
FSH graduate Maria and current participant Dania discuss the impact Family Scholar House has made on their families lives.
Hope, an Elizabethtown Community & Technical College student shares her experience with Family Scholar House.
After some unexpected delays, things are moving in Sellersburg. Our next residential campus, the Benedictine Scholar House adjacent to the Ivy Tech Community College Sellersburg campus, is growing daily. We can’t wait for the dozens of our resident families who will call this campus home to get settled into one of these modular apartments, manufactured in Louisville by MMY US, then transported and installed onsite in Sellersburg — our first Indiana Family Scholar House! A very special thanks to the Sisters of St. Benedict in Ferdinand, who have a deep historic connection to education dating back to 1867, when the first four Sisters made the journey from Covington, Kentucky to teach the students of German immigrants. We are so grateful for their partnership on this project.
